I heard some young fellas recently talking about their 'black' friend. Or more correctly using racist terms to describe him. When challenged on this these guys said that' "He is cool with this - were his friends so we can say it in fun". It seems that more and more I hear people believing that because they are saying these words in the manner that they do they are 'making fun'of racism and are totally not racist themselves.
This way of using racism as if it means nothing to you is called 'hipster' racism. As far as I am concerend it is STILL racism. Anyway - Go here to see a great article on 'hipster' racism from Jezebel
